Ultimate Martial Divine King

Accompanied by Hua Xue, Fuqin, and Lu Qi, Chu Hen arrived at the Thousand Mountains.    

All kinds of young men and women stood alone in groups. Each and every one of them exuded a youthful vigor.    

"Aren't these people's strengths too low? The highest level of Cultivation seems to only be at the first level of Space-Breaking Stage …"    

Hua Xue shook her head and said helplessly.    

Her heartless words immediately attracted the displeasure of most of the people nearby, and they all threw unfriendly looks at her.    

Hua Xue rushed to hide behind Fuqin as she said with an embarrassed smile, "I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything."    

Chu Hen, Lu Qi, and Qi Teng were all speechless.    

"These are all rookies who only came to take the exam. They can't even be considered outer court disciples. Do you still want them all to be as abnormal as Chu Hen?" Lu Qi answered.    

Chu Hen touched his nose, "Why me?"    

"I'm just comparing you!"    

Everyone smiled.    

It was just as Lu Qi had said, those who participated in the assessment today were all newcomers who had yet to enter the gate, so they belonged to the lowest level of Thousand Feather Sect.    

A large majority of people had Cultivation at or above the sixth stage of the Core-Transforming Stage and those who could reach the Space-Breaking Stage were considered extremely rare existences in this level.    

There was a preliminary standard for recruiting new disciples in Thousand Feather Sect.    

The first was that he wasn't even 20 years old.    

Second, reaching Rank Five and above.    

Only by possessing these two conditions would one be qualified to participate in the rookie assessment.    

The reason was simple. A person's talent and comprehension were very important.    

Before the age of twenty, the other party had the strength of Core-Transforming Stage and above, which meant that the other party had decent potential and aptitude.    

On the contrary, even after twenty years of age, he still could not reach that standard, which meant that this person's perception was poor, and his talent was relatively dull. Thus, he was not selected by Thousand Feather Sect. Not just Thousand Feather Sect, any one of these Sect would not raise a group of useless trash …    

Of course, this was only an initial criterion.    

If one failed the test, they would still be rejected at the door.    

After completing the examination, he would become an official disciple.    

The loser could only leave!    

The cruel world had always been a place where natural selection and charity existed. Even though this seemed like a simple test, it was still a hint of the heartless world …    

However, almost everyone had come full of hope, and everyone was full of joy and excitement.    

"Your Mentor Xi Lan is here!" Nong Qi suddenly said to Chu Hen.    

Everyone was startled as they looked around.    

"Where is she?" Lu Qi asked casually.    

Chu Hen smiled and looked to the left, "Over here!"    

Nong Qi's delicate eyebrows lifted in surprise as she asked, "You can sense her aura?"    

"What is it? Is there a problem? " Chu Hen was confused.    

Nong Qi and Zhi Shu couldn't help but look at each other, and the former continued to say, "That shouldn't be possible. With your strength as a level two Space-Breaking Stage cultivator, you shouldn't have been able to sense her aura."    

Fuqin, Qi Teng, and the others also felt that it was weird when these words were said.    

The reason why Nong Qi had been able to detect Xi Lan's arrival was because of her powerful perception.    

Chu Hen didn't have Nong Qi's perverted perception, but he knew where Xi Lan was. This really didn't make sense.    

"You must be talking nonsense." Hua Xue replied.    

However, just as she finished speaking, a purple-haired girl with a devastating beauty appeared in front of the crowd. What surprised them was that Xi Lan was heading in the direction Chu Hen had pointed to.    

"Wow, you really hit the mark." Hua Xue continued.    

However, Chu Hen also felt that something was wrong.    

He was well aware that he wasn't spouting nonsense just now, and had indeed sensed Xi Lan's approach from that direction.    

Including when Xi Lan went to find him at Xiao Lin Peak a few days ago, he didn't go to investigate but he knew that she had come.    

Chu Hen did not think that his perception had reached Nong Qi's level. He could only sense Xi Lan's aura, but not anyone else.    

This feeling was as if there was some kind of special power resonating with them.    

It was this indescribable strange resonance that allowed Chu Hen to sense Xi Lan's aura.    

"Are you guys over here?"    

Shortly after, Xi Lan arrived at Chu Hen's side.    

"Instructor."    

Chu Hen smiled and slightly suppressed the confusion in his heart.    

Nong Qi, Zhi Shu, and the others didn't go into the details either. After these few days of contact, everyone understood that Chu Hen couldn't be judged by the standards of a normal person. Perhaps it was just as Hua Xue had said, but it was also possible that he was carelessly mistaken.    

"Instructor, your Cultivation broke through?"    

Chu Hen's eyes lit up as he noticed that the true energy fluctuation around Xi Lan's body was much stronger than before.    

Previously, it was Space-Breaking Stage, but this time it was at the fourth step.    

Xi Lan's beautiful eyes slightly moved as she nodded. "Yes, I just broke through this morning."    

"So that's how it is. No wonder your True Essence is a little loose and loose …"    

Chu Hen was pleasantly surprised and genuinely happy for the other party.    

On the side, Qi Teng, Lu Qi and the rest were filled with astonishment and lament.    

Sure enough, what kind of mentor would there be like what kind of student. Chu Hen's cultivation speed was already unrivalled. They never thought that Xi Lan's talent was also so terrifying …    

In fact, in the entire Thousand Feather Sect, Xi Lan's innate comprehension ability was top-notch.    

As everyone knew, before she was seventeen, she was already a honorable disciple.    

Later on, if it wasn't because of his younger brother Xi Chen's accidental death, Xi Lan wouldn't have to leave the Thousand Feather Sect in extreme grief for a few years. Right now, it was unknown whether or not Xi Lan's name was amongst the five core disciples.    

Of course, there was no longer any 'if' in the past.    

It was because of this that Chu Hen was acquainted with her!    

"Do you guys still need to participate in the entrance exams? If you find it troublesome, then I'll just recommend you two to become inner court disciples. "    

Xi Lan's red lips parted slightly as she looked at the few of them with her beautiful eyes.    

"There's no need for that!" Qi Teng refused first, "Just follow the procedure! Anyway, we still want to see what the entrance examination for Thousand Feather Sect is all about. "    

Lu Qi also nodded in agreement, "In order to prevent others from gossiping, it's better if we rely on our own strength to enter the Sect."    

As for Fuqin and Hua Xue, they were even less concerned. They could also use this test to test their strength.    

"Teacher, when the time comes, are you going to participate in the hall disciple ranking test?" Chu Hen asked.    

Xi Lan shook her head. "I don't need to participate!"    

"Why?"    

"This is the will of the Sect higher ups, and it requires a portion of the higher ups to stay behind and guard the Sect. After all, the location of the assessment is a few hundred kilometers away in the 'Great Savage Forest' — if at this time, our sect encounters any unexpected situations, we will need to use people."    

Xi Lan explained simply.    

Not all disciples would have to participate in the Sect Assessment every year.    

If you don't want to participate, you can choose not to.    

But the condition is that your talent and strength must be recognized by the Sect. or the higher ups of the Sect have other tasks distributed to you    

However, the majority of disciples would not miss this opportunity to raise their disciple's rank and position.    

While they were talking, a ruckus broke out in the square.    

Immediately after, ten or so extraordinary looking Thousand Feather Sect experts walked over.    

Under the excited gazes of the crowd, a dozen or so high ranking figures came to the center of the square on top of a tall platform. The one leading them was a slightly plump old man who walked to the front and scanned the crowd with his sharp and wise eyes.    

"I am Duan Qingshan, the current great elder of Thousand Feather Sect."    

The calm and steady momentum reverberated throughout the area, giving one a feeling of a majestic and surging power.    

All the people present were suppressed by the invisible aura that was being emitted from the other party's body. The noisy sounds instantly became especially quiet.    

Great Elder of the Thousand Feather Sect?    

The corner of Chu Hen's eyes slightly narrowed. Even though the other party had restrained all of his aura, his strong demeanor and aura made people sincerely admire him.    

"First of all, we would like to thank everyone for the high regard we have of our Thousand Feather Sect. You all have travelled a thousand miles to participate in our sect's newcomer assessment, so those who pass the examination can become our sect's official disciples. And the losers, do not need to be depressed — next year, next year, my Thousand Feather Sect will still welcome you all."    

Duan Qingshan's voice slightly paused and continued, "I believe that everyone here knows that you are only taking the first round of the examination and have successfully passed the examination to become an official disciple. "After this, you can decide for yourselves whether you wish to participate in the second round and advance to an inner disciple!"    

Becoming an inner disciple?    

The eyes of quite a few people lit up with excitement.    

"Of course, there will definitely be an increase in the difficulty."    

Duan Qingshan suppressed their enthusiasm and said, "If you can get promoted to the inner sect, and if you can finish the exam for the hall disciples, you can participate in the competition for the ranking of the hall disciples."    

"All in all, it's just one sentence! As long as you have the strength, you can step into the hall and become the most elite disciple in our Thousand Feather Sect! "    

The high-spirited words made the rookies feel their blood boil.    

A single step to the level of a hall disciple was a result that everyone present yearned for.    

However, ever since the creation of the Thousand Feather Sect, very few people were able to reach this step.    

"Does anyone have any other questions?" Duan Qingshan asked loudly.    

No one said a word. Their eyes shone with excitement.    

"Very good. Next, let me introduce the two core disciples responsible for the exam."    

The moment the words' core disciple 'came out, everyone's heart lit up.    

In the next moment, a gust of biting cold air suddenly swept through the entire audience. In the high skies, winds and clouds surged. A powerful pressure came crushing down from the heavens and earth.    

Along with the trembling of the space, two bright Golden Light Column descended from the sky, gliding downwards and steadily landing on the left and right of the Great Elder, who was standing atop the stage.    

A strong gale blew out, and two sharp young figures entered everyone's line of sight.    

"Heh heh, sorry, we came late!"
